I read a bit and searched before I asked this question, but still have some unanswered's.....I plan on a KTM 690 Duke 3, so it has a slipper and I want to learn a bit more about this.
1. When downshifting 2+ gears does it reduce engine braking and end up causing rear wheel to slide around, or just disengage engine for rear wheel to point of chatter?
2. When does the slipper end up taking effect?
3. If i'm coming to a light and downshift through 3 gears like I used to with engine braking, is that eliminated almost, so its mostly brake I'd need to use to stop?
Any more details on how it changed your riding experince? I guess I'd have to ride it to feel difference, but I don't want to do it wrong, and end up sliding sideways in the HOV lane in traffic!?
Thanks guys,
